Warrior, WE, Level 37

Returning after 10 years, I belong to a small guild of RL friend(s) and some fantastic people we have met along the way. We are two clerics, a bard, a druid and a SK.

As I am approaching level 40, I am looking to upgrade my gear and possibly weapons and not quite sure what I should be looking for.

From my research, and since I am a vain WE, I know
AC, HP, STA and Agility
followed by STR, HASTE and DEX

Currently, I hold a Staff of Battle, Argent Defender, Kunsor Ku'Juch, Sarnak Flesh Harvester, 2 Obsidan Shards, Scimitar of Ysheka and a Shield of Slain Unicorn, ohh a MM Shield, I let a cleric use.

Items have either dropped, from the sale of an amazing item given to us from a player leaving the game and from the amazing generosity of players in game realizing we are truly returning players.

I haven't had a lot of cash to date, due to weight issues, but that is beginning to change and have now got up to 1,000pp.

Gear: Sarnak Earring, Sapphire Electrum, Collard of Undead, Sarnak Hide Mask, Crafted Helm, Platinum Fire Wedding Ring x 2, Bracers of Erollisi, Hero Bracer, Azure Sleeves, Cobault Gauntlets, Rusty Spiked Shoulderpads, Mirthil Breastplate, Scaled Prowler Cloak, Mirthal Plated Grith, Crafted Greaves and Cobalt Boots.

What suggestions would you provide regarding taking us to the next level? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
For what it's worth you really don't need to upgrade anything!!

Your Staff of Battle is an amazing bang-for-your-buck weapon in terms of raw DPS (not agro, though you do get a decent amount due to DMG).

The Scimitar is great for 1hs agro and the only real upgrade I would consider (at the 1kpp level) would be to get a Ykesh Club for 1hb skill ups!

I'm not versed enough in the stat/AC/HP debate to really chime in on the armor.

Something to keep in mind though - I spent lots of time duoing with warriors and low hp zerking them. The biggest DPS zerk tanks were the high Dex ones. At 37 it doesn't make much sense to pope any money into it because the viability of that strategy will start to wane around 40 but it really is a tremendous way for some poor-medium geared sham/warriors to get some amazingly fast xp.

Happy hunting friend!
